The final episode: Watch the fierce and beautiful battles of the sword fighters! Tsumigebu! Episode 15 - Swordsmen Warriors

Hmmm......... Sui, it looks like the time has finally come to settle the score. I will decide right here and now which of us is more suitable to be the head of the Tsumigae club, you or me. ......

You're being naive, Yuma!　In the Warring States period, battles were bound to occur!　And this is not a fight, but a warm-up for today's game, "Sword Dance Warriors"!

Mm, that's right!　That's my buddy, Sui!

By the way, "buddy" is a term that appears in "Sword Dance Warriors"!　How's it going?

I'm sure you'll have no problem with that, Yuma!　I'm sure you'll be able to enjoy "Sword Dance Musou" with me without any worries!　And from today onwards, we will call this club room "Honmaru"!

So, Tsumige club, let's go out to the world of "Sword Dance Musou"!

Before we talk about "Musou", let's start with the introduction of "Sword Dance ONLINE-".

Sword Ranbu-ONLINE" is a sword training simulation game that can be enjoyed on both PC browsers and smartphones. 2 million people have registered for the PC browser version, and the smartphone app version has been downloaded a total of over 8 million times!

In the year 2205 A.D., in order to protect history from revisionists who plan to change it, the player becomes a "SANJINJI" (a goddess of inhumanity) and fights against them by manifesting "SWORD BOYS", who are gods of mourning for swords. The worldview of "Toukendanbu-ONLINE" is that players become "Sanninja" (goddesses of swordsmanship) who manifest swordsmen and fight battles with them. In other words, a shinjinsha is a player character who is the master of the swordsmiths in "Touken Ranbu-ONLINE-", and the word "shinjinsha" is sometimes used to refer to the players themselves!

One of the main features of "Touken Ranbu" is the existence of "Toushi," or "sword men," who are famous swords that have manifested as deities of mourning.

Yes, but they are not just cool. Swordsmen are also known as .......

I was told first~!　I have no choice but to cut you down, Sui!

...... Kohon. The "Sword Dance: ONLINE" game has been developed into a variety of media mixes, including musicals, stage performances, movies, and anime. That's how popular this work is.

Ummm!　Toukendanbu Musou" is an action game that is a collaboration between the popular "Toukendanbu-Online" and the "Musou" series by Koei Tecmo Games, which allows players to enjoy the exhilarating action of the "one-on-one" sword fighting. Fifteen swordsmen and a mysterious figure called "Mengei" appear in beautiful 3D graphics.

In "Swords Warriors", players can control the sword fighters and enjoy the exhilarating action that only the "Musou" series can offer, as well as fight together with your buddies and engage in various types of battles, such as sword duels.

You've found a good point, Yuma!　Actually, it is .......

(Gunnu, Sui told me first again. ....... I knew I should have cut him off earlier. ......)

...... Kohon. The main attraction of "Sword Dance Musou" is that you can enjoy a completely original story that is only available in this title.

A certain Honmaru in the year 2205 AD. The fifteen swordsmen, who have lost their master, Shinjinsha, and are adrift, are suddenly attacked by a retrograde force. After that, the government of the time sent them on a mission called "forced investigation. Without their master, they set out for the Warring States Period, where history is being changed. ...... is the synopsis of this work.

Hmmm. The story is one that not only "Sword Dance" fans, but also those who are not familiar with "Sword Dance" can naturally get into and enjoy. So, let's continue with an introduction to the main game system of "Sword Dance Warriors"!

That's sweet, Yuma!　Let's go to battle! That's the part where you raise a smoke signal!

Let's take a look at the game system of "Sword Dance Warriors". Let's start with the battle part. This is the main part of "Sword Dance Warriors," where you advance through the battlefield while defeating a large number of enemies waiting for you, and aim to achieve the conditions for success in order to clear the battlefield. The story progresses as you clear the battlefield.

Hmmm, well, don't be so hasty, Yuma. In the battlefield, haste is fatal!

The basic actions are normal attack, strong attack, and evade. You can press the normal attack button continuously to perform a series of attacks!　And for the strong attack, you can use multiple strong attacks at will by holding down a specific button and pressing either ABXY.

Incidentally, when you are fighting a powerful enemy, you may find yourself in a Tsubagakure. If you hit the attack button repeatedly to push the gauge all the way to the end and win the duel, you can unilaterally destroy the enemy!

Also, on the battlefield, the Special Moves Gauge accumulates by attacking the enemy or being attacked by the enemy. If you activate a special move when your special move gauge is at its maximum, you can unleash a powerful attack with a staged effect!

The flashy and gorgeous performance of the special moves is a must-see. The beauty of the swordsmen will surely attract both "sword dance" fans and newcomers to "sword dance".

Furthermore, there is a "buddy" system in this game. In addition to the main swordsman you control, you can also have a second swordsman go into battle as a "buddy" to assist you. There are also cooperative techniques, such as "buddy renge," in which you and your "buddy" swordsmith unleash powerful moves together, and "twin sword coordination," in which you and your "buddy" swordsmanship partner perform a series of powerful moves together.

Mm-hmm!　In addition, after activating the twin sword linkage, you can activate the "twin sword special kill" when your gauge reaches zero or you activate a special move. This is a powerful special move in which the two swordsmiths work together. In addition, as the swordsmen strengthen their bond through repeated battles, support techniques such as buddy counterattacks and buddy pursuit attacks can be activated.

You can choose your buddy swordsmen as well as your main swordsman, so you can set your favorite swordsman as both your main and your buddy.

Hmmm!　By the way, I have a deep bond with Sui because we fought together in the battlefield of college life!　What do you think?

Now, let's take a look at some of the other systems in "Sword Swords Warriors" besides the combat aspect. First, let's take a look at the "Honmaru!

Yes, it does. But the "Honmaru" in "Touken Ranbu Musou" refers to the home base of the swordsmen that have appeared in the game. When the battle is over, the swordsmen return to the castle. Upon returning to the castle, the swordsmen are placed in various areas of the castle, such as the inner room, the kitchen, the garden, the porch, and the recreation room, so that they can save their strength in preparation for battle.

The swordsmen who are placed in these areas gain experience. This allows them to gain experience without having to go into battle. In addition, by placing swordsmen in the same place, you can strengthen the bond between swordsmen. When the bond level reaches a certain level, an event called "Bond Conversation" will occur, in which you can listen to a special conversation between the swordsmen.

A kitchen is a place where food is prepared, in other words, it's the modern equivalent of a kitchen.

Speaking of "kitchen," when you have swordsmiths in the ...... Honmaru, sometimes a mini-game will occur, for example, in the kitchen, you can make rice cakes with two swordsmiths or rice balls with one swordsmith.

If you successfully complete the mini-games, you can obtain the materials and koban needed to develop your swordsmanship, or you can develop the Honmaru itself!

There is a "Strengthen" function that allows you to strengthen your swordsmen, a "Yorozuya" function that allows you to shop with the koban you have acquired, and a "Recollection" function that allows you to look back on events that you have already seen. My favorite feature is, of course, the ability to view your swordsmanship to your heart's content!　In a sense, it may not be an exaggeration to say that this is the most important element of the Honmaru!

By the way, you can also enjoy the swordsmith's reactions by "blowing wind" and "poking". And if you're a fan of ......, you'll love the "Photo Mode"!

In this photo mode, you can freely take pictures of swordsmen and leave them as photos. You can freely arrange the photo with frames, stamps, and filters.

By the way, the photo mode can be activated not only in the main castle but also on the battlefield. You can take a dynamic photo of yourself in the midst of a battle against a horde of enemies!

If you are particular about your photo, you can take a picture that you think is "the one"! If you take the perfect photo, you can post it on social networking sites using the Nintendo Switch's share function.

Yup, Yuma's passion for photomode is far beyond our imagination. ......
